Watch Endeavor just replace all of creative with AI if it gets to the point where they think it’s good enough.It would be dumb if they got rid of Trips.
Don’t see him leaving on his own unless it’s health related. Dude lives and breathes wrasslin.
"Anti-black" ???
I ain't ask no brehs to get fired? Where'd u get that.
I want black wrestlers to get opportunities, not be thrown together with another breh they don't have chemistry with because they black.
I love the new Street Profits x Bobby pairing because it makes sense.
I don't get the the arguement you're trying to make
You think I don't like black wrestlers?

Street profits were an actual randomly thrown together pairing of black wrestlers in NXT that made no sense... now look at them.. It won't be known if you have chemistry until there's time to mesh. By your own words the profits shouldn't even exist
Its subconsciously anti black to shyt on everything black people do. Everytime a black wrestler talks to another black wrestler the nation of domination weirdos assemble. Is being put in a group not an opportunity? That means they took time to make plans for you as a wrestler.
You may like black wrestlers but that "don't put them all together" stuff is a white racist talking point. And when exactly are ALL black wrestlers being put together in the first place?

Many of these cuts never or did extremely little wrestling outside of WWE. They are going to be in a rude awakening about the hustle they going to have to put in to make a living in the business.
I hope they do well with whatever they do, but I hope they get insight and advice from people that know what they are doing in the industry outside of AEW/WWE if they want to stay in the industry. They going to need to learn how to market themselves if they don’t already.
AEW likely isn’t going to be coming in to save the day by swooping up a ton of these people like in the past. Can’t see TK going after any of these nobody NXT talents unless he seems to think they have a bright future. He’ll surely go after some of the main roster cuts though. Even if AEW signs them, unless TK wants to push them, they are just going to be in the same place they were in WWE - getting paid and not getting used.
Impact is probably going to go after some but these talents will need to supplement their Impact income with other ventures, rather that be indie bookings or other stuff. Will probably get used pretty decently there though.
New Japan probably isn’t even going to be taking any looks at anyone with their financials, I’d imagine.

Is NJPW doing poorly right now?

VOTE!!!
Their parent company Bushiroad has had a bad year. Stardom is actually doing really well for them but that's one of the only things in the corporation that had a good year.
This is not the same landscape as 2019 in wrestling. I could see Tony Khan signing Dolph sure but I don't see him signing a bunch of people off that list. I think he's waiting on some bigger names.

NJPW is barely profitable but their parent company is doing horrendous, like stock in complete collapse - at point the share price dropped well over 50% from its 2023 high point.
probably was tbh. but maybe he realized that it really wasn’t gonna be. so he moved accordingly. honestly good for him

Only three I see TK for sure going after are Ali, Benjamin, and Ziggler with Ziggler the most likely.
After that I just don’t see it. Perhaps maybe Elias or Moss but I don’t see that happening. He’s gradually slimming down the roster by letting contracts expire and has really scaled back on signing new talent.
If this website is correct, he’s only signed 12 wrestlers this year. And of that 12…
- Skye Blue was already signed to a tiered deal and got promoted to full time so not a brand new signing
- Nick Wayne was on a futures deal until he signed on full-time when he turned 18 so not a brand new signing.
- Stu Grayson was a returning talent and is basically exclusive to ROH it seems so not really a new signing.
- Mark Briscoe was already signed prior to 2023 on an AEW/ROH deal but WBD wasn’t letting TK use him in ROH until after his brother died. So he wasn’t even really signed this year, he just got to be used in AEW for the first time this year.
Unless TK has plans to use someone a lot, he isn’t signing them anymore just to be a warm body on the roster. And if that’s all they are, he’s largely letting them leave - see Sonny Kiss, Trench, and Pillman Jr, for example.
Like you said, this isn’t the AEW of yesteryear where he’s just going to snatch up anyone with a pulse. He’s got more depth than he can ever possibly use now thanks to New Japan defections and a boatload of ex-WWE guys.
Breh, again; I don't know what your argument is here.
I said I didn't want to see Shante and Cedric together. That's it. You bring up the Bullet Club and racist whtie ppl.
I'm not your cup of tea, click my avi and hit "Ignore." I'm a grown ass man, I'm not bout to get in a "pro-black" off with you.
I'm in another tab given two different black creators money outta my pocket because I wanna see them rise.
I don't want Dakota Kai and Nia Jax in the Bloodline just because they Samoan--guess I hate Samaons, too

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Still think it's weird they released Top Dolla & Yulisa Leon but kept Adonis, B-Fab, & Valentina Feroz
